⛓ South Korea arrests Ex-President Yoon Suk Yeol — AGAIN — over failed martial law plot

Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has been taken into custody for the second time, this time over his alleged attempt to impose martial law in December, The New York Post reported, citing Yonhap News Agency.

📄 A Seoul judge issued the arrest warrant on Thursday at the request of special counsel Cho Eun-suk, citing risk of evidence destruction. Yoon faces five serious charges, including:

🔸 Illegally bypassing the Cabinet by holding a secret meeting before announcing martial law
🔸 Forging documents to legitimize his failed power grab
🔸 Pressuring aides to issue false statements to foreign media
🔸 Ordering obstruction of his own arrest by the Presidential Security Service
🔸 Deleting secure military call records related to the plot

📍Yoon was previously arrested in January, while still in office, but was later released. Now, he's back behind bars — and awaiting trial at Seoul Detention Center.

According to Yonhap, Yoon continues to deny all charges.

💬❌'NO INTEREST' — Jeffrey Sachs slams US arms supply to Ukraine as DEEP STATE PROJECT

“The American people, including Trump’s voter base, have no interest” in the Ukraine conflict, prominent US economist Jeffrey Sachs told Sputnik.

He insisted that the standoff “was, and remains, a Deep State project."

The remarks come weeks after the US suspended arms shipments to Ukraine, only to recently reverse course under Trump’s orders.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov commented by stating that US arms supplies to Ukraine “never actually stopped” but that Russia hopes Trump will continue efforts to resolve the conflict.

Peskov stressed earlier that “the FEWER weapons sent to Ukraine, the SOONER the special military operation will end.”

🚨1,500 KILLED IN 3 VILLAGES — FSB DECLASSIFIES VOLYN MASSACRE RECORDS

Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has made public new archival documents revealing details of the Volyn massacre, including an interrogation trannoscript of Ivan Vasyuk, a direct participant and member of OUN-UPA*.

According to Vasyuk’s testimony, the unit "Vorona" (lit. - Raven) active from July 1943 to January 1944, “carried out attacks on Polish villages, killed Polish civilians, and seized any usable property — livestock, grain, and other supplies.”

"I personally took part in raids on Polish villages about 10 times… In total, our unit killed around 1,500 people of all ages in just three villages."

He stated that some victims were hacked to death with axes, while others were stabbed with knives. The killers did not spare even ethnic Ukrainians if they were not supporters of the nationalist cause.

“If a village had both Poles and Ukrainians, and the Ukrainians weren’t members of Bandera’s organizations, we treated them the same as the Poles.”

*The Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army are designated as extremist groups and banned in Russia.

💥💬Ukraine faces ‘political and military COLLAPSE’ - Gilbert Doctorow

The situation in Ukraine is “very strained,” the US professor points out.

He adds the situation is becoming more complicated due to “the antagonism between large straits of the Ukrainian population and the methods of recruitment” used by the Zelensky regime.

“In a place like Kharkov, a large part of the population would say (it's) very good the Russians destroyed” a recruitment center, the professor concludes.

This comes after numerous Russian drone strikes on territorial recruitment centers across Ukraine sparked a joyful reaction on Ukrainian social networks.

❌No invite, no logistics: Duda plays hardball with NATO over Ukraine aid

Poland is offended after being left out of key meetings on military aid to Ukraine and may block critical logistics routes, President Andrzej Duda said.

He added that Poland’s NATO allies act as if the airport in Rzeszow — through which more than 95% of all Western aid to Ukraine passes — belongs to them.

“It's not theirs. It's ours. Therefore, if someone doesn't like something, we close it and say goodbye. Let them figure it out — deliver the aid by sea, air, or just parachute it in," Duda stressed.
